Hi! I frequently use the Multilingual dictionary called "Dic Michaelis" (AppDB: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=3200&sA...), which is the only electronic english to portuguese dictionary I could possibly find, for any OS (except some very poor online translators).
I have it installed on Ubuntu 6.06 with wine 0.9.53~winehq0~ubuntu~6.06-1, and it works perfectly; probably the program was installed with some previous wine version, however still runs smoothly with wine 0.9.53 .
The problem is, I'm actually using latest Ubuntu (7.10) with the most recent wine (version 0.9.54~winehq0~ubuntu~7.10-1) but the following problems occur:
- There are now actually two "programs" in the taskbar; the first one contains the main body of the dictionary; the second, when clicked,
displays the search word field;
- Whenever I switch from english/portuguese to portuguese/english and
vice-versa, the search box disappears and I need to select it again in the taskbar;
- When the application is minimized, or another application such as firefox is
chosen, the main body minimizes, but the search box remains over all the other programs I have open i.e. browser etc.; So the only solution I have at the time is closing the dictionary application every time after searching for the translation; this can be quite annoying.
- Everytime I switch between applications I have to click again in the second
"program" in the taskbar so I can enter the search word. Because of the nature of the activity (browsing foreign language, using translator) this happens quite frequently.
SUMMARY: this issue is not a priority, however it did not happened in prior versions of wine (except when minimizing the search box remained in top of everything else) and I assume it happens with other applications also.
I'm attaching a photo so you can see what I'm talking about :)
THANK YOU AND I REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR WORK!

Please run a regression test: http://wiki.winehq.org/RegressionTesting
The application worked under Ubuntu 6.06 and even wine 0.9.53, however, for the same wine 0.9.53 under Ubuntu 7.10 it doesn't work, I think because the application was originally installed in Ubuntu 6.06 (which is installed in another partition) before a wine upgrade to 0.9.53, that is, the application was installed under a previous wine, which I suppose was released around October 2006. Therefore, I tried to install wine 0.9.23 from source (since there is no package for Ubuntu 7.10, I suppose using package from Ubuntu 6.06 would break the system?) but when try to run wine get "segmentation fault". Tryed also from source wine 0.9.22 but same problem.
So I returned to wine 0.9.23 and, according to the readme file, must be compiled using gcc 2.7.2.3. So I installed gcc-2.7.2.3-19 available from the Ubuntu package repository; I made the necessary changes so the compiler used is actually gcc-2.7.2.3. Nevertheless, I can't go further, when execute 'make' I get the erros some erros, please see the attached file: erros while doing 'make' - wine 0.9.23.
